Hi,
We've got a fresh CentOS 5.4 box, and the only glitch so far is that /etc/init.d/smb doesn't start smbd. It claims it does - shows "[ok]" - but only nmbd ends up running. Even setting a higher debugging level in the smbd flags, nothing logs or shows on the console as to why smbd is immediatly quitting.
To make it stranger, doing this works fine:
. /etc/init.d/functions daemon smbd -D
That's the core of how the /etc/init.d/smb file is set up to start it. Except from there it's not working - despite the reported "[ok]".
Anyone seen this, or have advice on how to debug it?
Does 'service smb restart' work after the rest of the system is up enough to log in? If so, maybe some of the underlying network services aren't ready when it starts at bootup.
